FIFA bans Caribbean FA chief for six years
Caribbean Football Union president Gordon Derrick was fined 30,000 Swiss francs
Zurich - Al Maghrib Today
FIFA suspended Caribbean Football Union president Gordon Derrick from the sport for six years on Tuesday after he was found guilty of several ethics violations.
Derrick becomes the latest in a long line of football executives sanctioned by FIFA's ethics committee, which has thrown dozens of people out of the sport over graft.
In a statement, FIFA said the case centred on "alleged conflicts of interest, offering and accepting gifts and other benefits, mismanagement of funds, abuse of position and disloyalty".
A native of Antigua and Barbuda, Derrick was also fined 30,000 Swiss francs ($31,154).
Derrick had last year sought to take charge of the governing body for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) -- after the two previous chiefs were brought down by their own corruption scandals.
But Derrick was barred from running in the CONCACAF vote after failing a background check by FIFA's compliance committee.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
